Subject[PATCH net-next v2 02/13] sunhme: Remove version
Date
Module versions are not very useful:

> The basic problem is, the version string does not identify the sources
> with enough accuracy. It says nothing about back ported fixes in
> stable kernels. It tells you nothing about vendor patches to the
> network core, etc.

While we're at it, inline the author and use the driver name a bit more.
